The local air quality has been Orange recently. That's "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups." Children, when you're pregnant, and people with chronic medical conditions like heart disease are more at risk.

Stay indoors and use air filters or use an N95 face mask when outdoors. Get medical help if you don't feel well.

It's respiratory virus season. RSV can make young babies and older adults very sick.

The signs that a sick baby needs to go to the hospital include:
- chest "caving"
- blue or gray lips, mouth or fingernails
- noisy breathing or a pause in breathing

We have the RSV vaccine in stock, which is recommended during pregnancy and for infants to prevent severe illness.

November SNAP benefits are here in Oregon! The federal government remains shut down, but ODHS was able to issue full November SNAP benefits with federal approval. We know how important these benefits are, so we worked quickly to begin issuing benefits last night. Everyone should have full November SNAP benefits on their EBT cards this morning, Nov. 7, 2025 - even if you normally receive SNAP later in the month.

Before shopping, check your EBT card balance to make sure their benefits have been issued. There are several ways to check your balance:

- Call ebtEDGE customer service toll-free at 888-997-4447
- Visit https://ebtEDGE.com
- Use the ebtEDGE mobile app

ODHS does not recommend any other EBT management websites or apps.

While the release of SNAP benefits is not a scam – we want everyone to remain aware of potential scammers who could be trying to take advantage of the confusion in this situation. Do not click any suspicious links in emails, texts or social media posts, and only trust ODHS for information about Oregon benefits.
